White House still researching how to continue non-lethal supply to Syria rebels.

The White House said on Friday that
it is still reviewing how to resume shipments of non-lethal aid to
moderate rebel groups fighting in Syria after an incident last month
where Islamist fighters seized supplies from a warehouse.

"No
decisions have been made yet regarding the resumption of non lethal
assistance to the (Syrian Military Council), but we have resumed
deliveries of non-lethal assistance into northern Syria to civilian
actors," White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters at a briefing.

"This
has nothing to do with our support for the moderate military
opposition, but rather the security of our assistance," Carney said.
